When actors work with each other, they do not just film their projects and part ways. They also spend much time together behind the cameras as well. One such show that harbors a young cast that has had almost a decade of experience working with each other is none other than Stranger Things. The cast members have many stories from behind the scenes. One of which was so hilarious that the boys’ fun made the crew members evacuate the set as well.

After four glorious seasons, the fandom is eagerly waiting for the final season of the fan-favorite series. While the show has depicted smooth storyline transition things were far from smooth behind the cameras owing to the young actors involved. When they were filming the first season, they had a scene in an abandoned bus. As The Duffer Brothers revealed to Entertainment Weekly, one of the boys decided to fart. Yes, the boys used to have a fart session and have fun while others felt frustrated.

It was not just once. The repeated series of farts made the environment in the bus so toxic that the crew had to evacuate the bus temporarily. As much fun as it sounds, The Duffer Brothers had a talk with the boys to make them focus on work.
As they admitted, it was a typical sports coach speech. And as bizarre as it was for them, their motivational speech worked and the cast members gave some of their best emotional scenes.
After all these years, the actors still have fun together whenever they are on the sets. However, currently, instead of being on the sets, the actors are on the picket lines because of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
From teasing to supporting a noble cause, the Stranger Things cast members grew up
From being child actors to becoming grown stars, the Netflix drama saw the cast members grow up together. Now, as they matured with the passing of time, the boys are supporting the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, along with David Harbour have been actively participating in the protest.
